TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATION OF ALGAL - Coggle Diagram
TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATION OF ALGAL
Model lab research systems
Acetabularia
discover the nucleus
2 type of cap
A.crenulata has branched
A. mediterranea has disk
shaped cap
discover by Joachim Hammerling
Cholera sp
Discovered by Melvin Calvin
proposed Kelvin cycle
occur in chloroplast
discovered products of
photosynthesis
through dark reaction
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Respond to mechanical
stimuli
To find distince evolutionary
patterns
Algal Genomics and
Proteomics
Genomics
techniques to study the
organisms’ genomes,DNA
sequence information
– Explore how gene expression works,
during development
Environmental Monitors
monitor in the change of algal community composition
Evaluate water quality
by the presence of diatoms
Bioassay for Toxic compound
To check for toxic compounds and
excess nutrient levels
use Selenastrum
capricornutum
– More sensitive than animals
Cell yield is proportional to the
limiting nutrient/toxins
As Food
Human consumption
Spirulina sp
consist of B-carotene
for anti-oxidant
precursor for vit A
Essential unsaturated fatty acids
Porphyra sp (Nori)
haploid (n)
for sushi wrap
Conchocelis stage
Gelling Agent
Alginates
extracted from giant kelps
and brown algae
usually in dairy product
Carrageenan
Extracted from red algae
Example of seaweed
Kappaphycus sp
Gelidium
Renewable biofuels
Fermentation of biomass
Industrial algae for lipid
extraction
Hydrogen generation system
Advantages
do not compete to obtain
not require the use of
agricultural lands
Effluent
Treatment
type of wastewater
Human sewage
High in phosphate and nitrogen
Agricultural wastes
Algal turf scrubber
Cladophora,
periphyton
Artificial streams
